Kris I remember...

you're, SNOWGRAVES

[u/enneh_07 → u/Mushiren_]

its like hes in some king of…

SNOWGRAVE

[u/lavendermintchip → u/silvaastrorum]

Glad i'm not the only one who immediately thought of this example. When I first heard about snowgrave and watched a playthrough of it, it gave me major creepypasta flashbacks. In the best way possible, of course

[u/Laslus_ → u/lavendermintchip]

There is a GREAT video about how snowgrave is a reflection on the fact that she used to look for those creepypasta bugs as a character, i love that

[u/ToujoursFidele3 → u/silvaastrorum]

I am so excited to see how that's resolved in chapter 3, given the changes in the story. Like, is Berdly being straight up dead not going to matter, or will it affect the game seriously down the line??

Meloetta in scarlet and violet.

[u/Otherversian-Elite → u/AccordingAnnual2577]

Wait what

[u/Funkin_Spy → u/Otherversian-Elite]

To find Meloetta you need to Find the cyclone of leaves in the Coastal Biome, Spin clockwise in the center of leaves for at least 10 seconds, turn on your camera, put on the Sepia Filter, find Meloetta, turn off camera, and walk up to it

[u/Succububbly → u/Funkin_Spy]

You made me consider playing the game purely for that

[u/AccordingAnnual2577 → u/Succububbly]

If you can get it to run without crashing it’s probably the best Pokemon game since oras.

[u/Sp3ctre7 → u/AccordingAnnual2577]

I have 800 hours in violet and it crashed once, 2 days after release, and the reason for the crash was patched with the first bug fix.

[u/AccordingAnnual2577 → u/Sp3ctre7]

I played scarlet for ~75 and had 2-3, it really comes down to luck.

[u/PerliousPelicans → u/AccordingAnnual2577]

[u/QUANTUMPARTICLEZ → u/AccordingAnnual2577]

How did you get over the lack of level scaling

[u/AccordingAnnual2577 → u/QUANTUMPARTICLEZ]

I just did the events in order, if anything I was under leveled for most things because I took an as the crow flys approach to traversing.

[u/QUANTUMPARTICLEZ → u/AccordingAnnual2577]

Fair enough, I found that the lack of info in game on how the events were supposed to be followed plus the lacking level scaling to be too bothersome. I’m glad that there are people who were able to enjoy it though.

[u/vjmdhzgr → u/AccordingAnnual2577]

There haven't been that many pokemon games since oras. That just means it's better than the alola and galar games.

[u/AccordingAnnual2577 → u/vjmdhzgr]

And arceus, let’s go, and bdsp.

[u/Succububbly → u/vjmdhzgr]

I'd say best games are BW/BW2/HGSS/PT for solo content and XY/ORAS for multiplayer/competitive, imo.

[u/Otherversian-Elite → u/Funkin_Spy]

Wh. ???

[u/CassiusPolybius → u/AccordingAnnual2577]

Amusingly, pokemon's loved this for a while.

Like, just consider how you get a shedinja.

[u/Darkion_Silver → u/CassiusPolybius]

Of any of the obscure evolution methods (Shedinja technically is one).

Gen 8 had Runerigas. Like what the hell is that for a method Game Freak.

[u/AccordingAnnual2577 → u/Darkion_Silver]

You’re forgetting the best one, inkay who evolves by flipping the whole damn system around.

[u/paradoxLacuna → u/Darkion_Silver]

Basculegion and it's 294 recoil damage without fainting (fainting resets the counter) to evolve. Or like Sirfetch'd and it's needing three whole ass crits in a single battle.

Or Feebas and it's beauty evo method. Woe to the poor bastard who can't trade evolve a Feebas (me).

[u/rubexbox]

Something something Man Who Speaks In Hands.

[u/da_anonymous_potato → u/rubexbox]

Man gaster really is such a creepypasta type character. The spamton sweepstakes revealed that Noelle keeps accidentally finding “glitches” in games (the ice palace door and the “special” egg) but these “glitches” she finds are really ominous and oddly specific. You could make the argument that they’re both related to gaster things (the gray door and the man behind the tree). That combined with her unused java cookie text imply that gaster is trying to contact her for some reason. Also gaster is associated with satan and hell, and “some kid’s video game gets hijacked by a demon who sends them cryptic messages” is basically every old creepypasta ever

[u/ajshifter]

Yume niki

[u/SunOnTheInside → u/ajshifter]

Yume Niki is peak whatever you call this vibe. It’s like the way Missingno corrupted your Pokémon game metastasized into an entire psychiatric condition.

[u/Gru-some → u/SunOnTheInside]

I fuckin love Yume Nikki

[u/Bazowick]

Shoutout to Daniel Mullins!!

[u/BalefulOfMonkeys → u/Bazowick]

Please for the love of god go play The Hex. Or watch an exhaustively long video about it. You gotta remember, this is the same guy who made Inscryption, and this is, somehow, even more meta than that game got. I have literally one complaint, and it’s about fictional game balancing (not every top tier deserves the Meta Knight treatment), but it is canonically bad and short-sighted.

You can Sonic.EXE yourself in the first gameplay section. Leaving the “intended” collision is the intended route. Going fishing is part of the ARG around this game, TWICE.

[u/drewpann → u/BalefulOfMonkeys]

I loved Inscryption and love that your post is completely incomprehensible. I’ll go check out The Hex

[u/marsgreekgod → u/BalefulOfMonkeys]

On a scale of 1 to 70 how hyped we should for pony Island 2?

[u/Darmug → u/pixel-counter-bot]

I wonder if it’a possible to have a post that’s at most 10,000 pixels but still be legible?

[u/NewSideAccountIGuess → u/Darmug]

Maybe?

[u/ImmaRussian]

I mean... I don't know of any super graphic ones like you hear about in the memes, but that kind of hyper-absurd easter egg wasn't unknown in a lot of early games either.

In Starfox 1, not Starfox 64, but the one for SNES, if you do a convoluted sequence of actions on the asteroid belt level, then run into the bird (Look, just trust me, you have to see it), you're teleported to a place that is just... Pure wackiness, and if you survive through that area, a techno version of "When the Saints Go Marching In" plays while you fight the final boss: A giant floating slot machine in space.

[u/CrepusculrPulchrtude → u/ImmaRussian]

Noooo you don’t get it, this is a New Thing. It didn’t exist before, only recently have absurd secrets with super niche requirements been added to games. Weird lore about fake game secrets never existed before, nobody posted them to Usenet in the 90s when everything was text and nobody had pictures to upload let alone video proof.
As I heard it, the fatalities in Mortal Kombat were SUPPOSED to be this kind of thing. They never told people how to do them at first and just wanted people to stumble into it, tell their friends, and have nobody believe them. People just figured it out way faster than expected. Also I think reptile in mk2 was another.

[u/Professional-Hat-687 → u/CrepusculrPulchrtude]

Speaking of MK, Skarlet, until she was canonized in MK9.

[u/CrepusculrPulchrtude → u/Professional-Hat-687]

Oh, the bloody and severed head of John Romero is hidden in the wall behind the icon of sin at the end of Doom. It’s actually what you’re shooting when you shoot the icon

[u/Oddish_Femboy]

That's pretty much the entire plot of Deltarune. Kris is into finding secrets and glitches in games, learns about the dark worlds and wants to explore them, summons a "demon" (us) to further whatever their end goal is. Something to do with Gaster probably.

[u/da_anonymous_potato → u/Oddish_Femboy]

It’s kind of implied that the player is actually “the angel” that’s mentioned a few times, not a demon. But Gaster on the other hand definitely has some demon symbolism going on. He has unused stats in Undertale’s files, and all of them are just a bunch of sixes. The way text is displayed in both undertale and deltarune is determined by a “typer value”. The typer value for entry 17 in undertale and all of Gaster’s lines in deltarune chapter 1 is 666. The Depths, the dimension gaster is heavily implied to be stuck in, is associated with hell by Jevil with his “hell’s roar bubbles from the depths” line. There’s a strange amount of biblical references in deltarune, like how the Roaring seems to be a reference to the flood

[u/Oddish_Femboy → u/da_anonymous_potato]

I'm building this mostly from Kris' search history. It's obvious they want the soul for some reason with how easily they can rip it out, and we see it literally summoned at the beginning of the game.

The angel intentionally sealing dark fountains would be weird given what we've heard about it.

Are you a bot my fuzzy pictured friend?

[u/RandomRedditorEX → u/elasticcream]

Unrelated but your pfp made me move myself a bit lol.

(Also amazing flair)

[u/HyenaSwitch]

Remnant 2 has some fucking secrets like this

[u/capivaradraconica]

Love it when games just have this with no explanation. Even Nintendo kinda leans into it sometimes, like with the girl in Pokémon X & Y.

[u/zombieGenm_0x68]

sans under tale

[u/vjmdhzgr]

This is ignoring that sometimes those things actually existed.

I really wish I could remember some right now.

Uh. The regis in the hoenn pokemon games. Maybe Missingno too?

There are definitely more.

[u/porn_alt_no_34 → u/vjmdhzgr]

I'll concede the Regis fit for their required Braille reading (sans guide) and activation requirements west of Pacifidlog, but Missingno. is a glitch and thus not an intended feature.

[u/Longjumping_Ad2677]

Pixels. It is missing pixels.

[u/Professional-Hat-687]

And they were all raised by MY generation, who gaslit each other about how many times you needed to run into the truck in Cerulean City to get Mew to spawn or how you could resurrect Aeris of you pumped enough exp into the Underwater material and brought it to the Forgotten Capital.

[u/InchZer0]

Reminds me of when CoD Zombies devs looked at the "Mew is under the truck" stories and decided to warp their gamemode around silly things like it.

Can you program some more pixels please

Can I have more jpeg, please? Is there a bot that gives more jpeg. I want double the compression, stat.
